NEW STATESMAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015 'Sublime ... it inspires a
kind of evangelical cult passion among its devotees' Simon Schama
'Roth is Austria's Chekhov' William Boyd Strauss's Radetzky March,
signature tune of one of Europe's most powerful regimes, presides
over Joseph Roth's account of three generations of the Trotta
family in the years preceding the Austro-Hungarian collapse in
1918. Grandfather, son and grandson are equally dependent on the
empire: the first for his enoblement; the second for the civil
virtues that make him a meticulous servant of an administration
whose failure he can neither comprehend nor survive; the third for
the family standards of conduct which he cannot attain but against
which he is too enfeebled to rebel.
